The effectiveness and efficiency of a charity organization can be achieved by applying information systems. In Indonesia, there are many small, informal, and even unregistered charity organization to serve many unfortunate people who are not covered by the government or well-established charity organization. Those small charity organization does not have enough capacity for human resource to develop and use the information system to provide good administration and good financial report. Development of information systems for charity organizations can be done uniformly to save development costs, but each organization can have different characters and needs. A high effort is needed to adapt and adjust an information system that has been used in other organizations. The development of a charity organization information system using the concept of software product line (SPL) can be done to form a charity organization information system that has a collection of features that can be selected according to the needs of each charity organization. The system that has been developed needs to be supported by learning strategies for users so that they can be used optimally. This research aims to create learning design through a progressive learning approach for the information systems. The feature collection on the developed information system was mapped onto an organizational development model, known as Impact Maturity Model (IMM) so that the features needed at each level of IMM were obtained. Intermediary learning is done through a case study of an information system in the form of a web application called Adaptive Information System for Charity organization (AISCO).

: The goal of our research is to provide a framework for constructing complex, distributed systems that can autonomously adapt to their environment. There were three key elements to this framework. The first element was a metal-model for developing distributed, adaptive systems based on organization theory - the Organization Model for Adaptive Computational Systems (OMACS). OMACS defines the required components for an adaptive organization - agents, goals, roles, and capabilities - as well as an approach for computing the best organization of those components. The second framework element created was a the Goal Model for Adaptive Systems, which handles the runtime goals based on precedence between goals as well as runtime instantiation of new goals based on events that occur in the environment. The final part of the framework developed was a software engineering methodology for designing distributed, adaptive systems using a dynamic goal model. The Organization-based Multiagent Systems Engineering (O-MaSE) methodology is based on the Multiagent Systems Engineering methodology and incorporates all OMACS components.

Currently, the development of organizational information systems remains a complex task. Final software product quality often does not match expectations. The existence of organizational models is the first step to reduce complexity in the development of information systems. Within the life cycle of an information system, activities are still very dependent in quality, time, and costs on the human resource skills that staff them. The existence of automated mechanisms to transform client requirements into characteristics of running systems would bring added value to the resulting software product, either in product quality and time perspectives. In this proposal, the manipulation of requirements must be done using an understandable model for both software engineers and business process experts. This model should be used to automatically reshape the running organizational information system and be the basis for an automated information system generation. The usage of such mechanism can be done during a development project, but also after its implementation where standalone process experts could change the organization model, knowing that the changes, in an automated mode, would be transferred into the running system.

A systematic literature review is being carried out as part of a Ph.D. research project, which is focussing on the security problems caused by inference in distributed and autonomous information systems. Inference problems differ from other security problems because they do not directly violate access control mechanisms. For example, a user may infer an aircraft’s secret destination using unclassified values for the range of the aircraft and its direction of flight. The aim of the research is to investigate the effects of inference when information is collated from autonomous, heterogeneous and distributed information systems (Budgen et al., 2005).

Through the experience of developing GIS for disaster prevention we noticed that requirements for GIS could be divided into at least 3 categories. The first type of GIS is for regional analysis and decision-making based on data integrating detailed geographical historical (temporal) information of a region to the maximum extent. This type of GIS can give solutions for federal or local government requirements. The second type of GIS is for general public use such as to use instead of a paper map. Requirement of data is mainly positions of geographic objects which are subsets of the first type of GIS data and such as service information mainly as attributes which are gathered by unspecified people and system has to be simple. The third type of GIS is for special purposed GIS such as car navigation systems of which functional requirements are almost finalized. Compactness, efficiency, and cost are important. We propose a solution which satisfies a variety of requirements of GIS by combination of non-Internet GIS and Internet/Web GIS related to realization of disaster mitigation and environment analysis. As geographic information is based on culture and way of living of each country, we believe GIS based on Asian culture has to be developed by collaborative research and development of Asian countries.

Since today's enterprises must constantly adapt to rapidly changing external environment, it is necessary to be able to deal with variation and changing conditions in information systems (IS) development. This may be achieved by the use of multifractal IS development methodologies. Fractal approaches to some extent have already been tested in adaptive enterprise development, adaptive manufacturing systems development, and software development. This suggests that multifractal IS development, on the one hand, is appropriate, because the information system should properly reflect the business enterprise (in this case a fractal one) and, on the other hand, it is possible, because some elements of it have already been implemented. Development of multifractal IS aims at managing relative completeness by relative simplicity that has to be discovered in different subsystems that influence the development of the information system. This, in essence, implies the need of thorough analysis an understanding of business structures and processes to discover patterns useful for the identification of fractal features. Currently, only some guidelines for development of multifractal IS are derived from reported experiences of fractal systems development and the use of fractal approaches in other domains.

Information technology development brings a very broad impact on human life. With this Model View Controller (MVC) concept, information system development could be developed in accordance needs of the user’s information system development and be able to adapt the development in the organization. Needs of fast and precise and adaptive information system information is needed in this modern era when everything needs to be fast. Faculty of computer science (FIK) Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veterans Jakarta (UPNVJ) as one work unit under the government agency, has State-owned inventories to support all activities to carry out the Tri Dharma or the higher education pillars, especially in the field of education. The state-owned inventories or devices are available in FIK such as monitors, printers, LCD, mouse, etc. For continuity of this educational process, the state-owned inventories must be maintained. Therefore, in this research, the researchers will develop an information system to document the state-owned inventory records for helping the management of the state-owned inventories in the faculty of computer science at UPN Veteran Jakarta. The information system was built using the waterfall method and using the PHP programming language and MySQL database running on a server. This information system provides features to manage users, manage components, access system logs, access system settings, manage devices, manage the location, and access reports. The system that has been developed has also passed the eligibility assessment for all aspects of both visual communication aspects, software engineering aspects, and usability aspects.

In general, the learning process is done conventionally, where the learning process is done face to face between teachers with learners in the classroom. Teachers have a very important role in determining the quantity and quality of the implementation study. Therefore, teachers must think and plan carefully to improve learning opportunities for learners and improve the quality of teaching. Along with the development of mobile technology and communication is rapidly increasing, enabling the learning process is not only done in the classroom, but can be done anywhere and anytime. Based on the analysis of the results of observations in the class conducted by a researcher and as a teacher in the learning courses of Information Systems, found some obstacles encountered during the learning process This research is to develop an Adaptive Mobile Learning on Information Systems courses. The method used in this research is the development of research methods (research and development), which selected the design development using System Development Life Cycle model. Adaptive Mobile Learning will be validated and tested through three phases of testing are: (1) Product technical test as a software. (2) Testing of the product as a medium of learning, through expert review by a media expert, (3) Field test to evaluate the response of the students that learned Adaptive Mobile Learning. The results show that Adaptive Mobile Learning software is can present the material in the course of Information Systems. Media Adaptive Mobile Learning can be used as an alternative medium (supplement) of learning Information Systems courses. The response of students to the development and use of software for Adaptive Mobile Learning Information Systems courses is likely to very positive, which is at 67.7% very positive and 32.3% is positive.

Adaptive Information Systems (AdIS) are systems responsive to environmental changes or changes in a ship's systems. In this paper the potential of shipboard AdIS to decrease an officer's excessive workload are examined. The workload of the Officer Of the Watch (OOW) consists of tasks being initiated by the OOW and by external inputs. Sometimes the external inputs, particularly those requiring low priority actions, actually distract the OOW and increase the workload. Consequently an overload may be reduced by delaying low priority information, thus delaying the actions they could initiate. To estimate the applicability of AdIS, a model has been developed using a discrete event simulation software, consisting of three main modules: environment, AdIS and the OOW. The simulation has been run with a traffic environment comparable to those existing in the Dover Strait. A comparison between the OOW workload with and without AdIS has been estimated, indicating that during demanding navigation AdIS can significantly reduce the overload time. In areas similar to the Dover Strait the overload time can be reduced by a third.

The problem of automation of the processes of information transmission and processing in adaptive information systems is considered. An analysis of existing approaches to solving this problem showed the prospects of using neural network technologies. A neural network method for processing and transmitting information in adaptive information systems is formulated. The method includes a formalized description of a neural network data channel - a software tool for analysis, data processing and selection of data transfer protocol. The main stages of the proposed method are outlined: classification of the structures of the source data, their transformation, data processing, selection of the necessary protocol for transmitting information. Each of the stages is implemented through neural networks of various architectures. The theoretical rationale of the possibility of using the neural network method is given, obtained on the basis of the proof of a number of theorems. The novelty of the proposed method consists in the transition from an analytical solution of the problems of classification, processing and data transfer to an automated approach using machine learning technologies. The practical significance of the neural network method is to reduce the complexity of the implementation of information processing and transmission processes, to increase the level of automation in the organization of intermodular interaction. The implementation of the neural network method has been assessed using a number of software complexity assessment metrics. The application, virtues and failings of the developed method are analyzed.

The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed the hospitality industry, particularly in enhancing front office services as the primary point of interaction between guests and the hotel. This study aims to design a web-based front office information system integrated with smart room technology, utilizing Unified Modeling Language (UML) as the modeling approach. The developed system, named SIFOHSMART, combines administrative data management functions with intelligent service features based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The main innovation of this system lies in the automatic notification feature from smart panels in guest rooms to the front office, enabling real-time detection and handling of complaints. This research adopts a prototyping methodology, including literature review, field observations, stakeholder interviews, user requirements analysis, UML diagram design (use case and activity), and system testing. The results demonstrate that the system improves operational efficiency, accelerates service response time, and supports data-driven decision-making. The contribution of this study extends beyond technological innovation by incorporating a human-centered design approach that considers usability and convenience for hotel staff. This system has the potential to serve as a reference model for developing adaptive and sustainable hotel information systems in the modern hospitality sector.

This paper presents ASTIS, a framework for the design and generation of adaptive spatio-temporal information systems for the historical study of natural hazard risks. ASTIS is based on a modular architecture in which every module can be personalized by the designer in order to meet the needs of different kinds of users. Personalizations are performed through a model-driven approach, each module is generated from specific models, conceived by the designer. A data management module allows personalizing the content of the application via data viewpoint mechanisms. A presentation module allows designing personalized interactive visualizations. Finally, an adaptation module is in charge of performing the appropriate personalizations at runtime, in order to adapt both the content and the presentation of the information to the user characteristics.
